5. Shining Grass

That evening, Lord Glen came to see me in my room. We sat across from each other on the sofas.

“Sorry for coming this late.”

He was apologizing, but since I usually didn’t do much more than read around this time before dinner, there was no problem at all. Really, I was just happy to see him!

“There’s something I need to tell you,” he said vaguely before sending all of my maids aside from Miss Micah, who was cooking dinner, out of the room. “I had Micah interrogate the men we caught this afternoon.”

I nodded. If I’m not mistaken, Miss Micah has a Sage-level [Interrogation] Skill, and could make anyone answer any question. I thought back to the time I’d seen her use the Skill back in the Radzuel Empire.

“Tonight, those men will be coming to attack both you and the Spirit Tree of Origin.”

After saying that, Lord Glen explained in detail what the men were aiming for, and how they were going to use strengthening herbs to make the monsters go berserk.

“I’ve put a barrier around the Spirit Tree of Origin, and you’ve got your ring with its defensive magic. Whatever happens, you won’t be hurt at all.”

I looked down at the engagement ring on my right ring finger. The magic tool had already protected me with defensive magic back in Lady Noel’s room.

“But just in case anything happens, I’d like for you to stay beside the tree for tonight.”

“Why?”

“If both of the things we’re protecting are in different places, it thins our defenses. There’s also the fact that if you’re in the same place, all the enemies will go there as well, so we can defeat them in one fell swoop.”

I nodded in understanding. “Um... So when should I go to the Spirit Tree?”

“As soon as possible,” said Lord Glen, putting his hands to his lips. “The men are supposed to wear black to blend in with the night.”

So when the sun goes down and it gets dark, they’ll be sneaking around... Since the Spirit Tree was beside the Royal Research Institute, the light coming from the lab window should stop it from being pitch black out, but the men’s clothes would still make it hard to see them.

“It seems it would be hard to catch them if they’re wearing black.”

“We’re planning on using the Light spell to light up the area, but...”

If only I could light up the area in an instant like with magic... But then I had an idea.

I immediately willed the Spirit Tree bracelet on my left wrist to give me back my plant book, and it popped into existence in my hand. I opened it up and flipped to the page for a type of moss called luminous moss, showing Lord Glen.

“What about planting seeds for grass that glows like this luminous moss?” Luminous moss was a special variety that only grew in specific caves, and lit up when touched. “If we planted grass around the Spirit Tree that lit up by the sound of my voice, rather than by touch.
